Campus Crusade for Christ Continues to Arm Troops with the "Sword of the Spirit"
"We firmly believe that no U.S. Armed Forces person should have to go in harm’s way without the Word of God…" –MG (Ret.) Bob Dees
We would never expect to send a soldier into battle without a weapon and a measure of defense—our troops should have the opportunity to be equally prepared with the spiritual armament of the Word of God.

As part of these efforts to share the life-changing message of Salvation, Military Ministry is distributing Rapid Deployment Kits (RDKs) to soldiers both here at home and around the world.
RDKs consist of a Good News Translation New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs from the American Bible Society; the Our Daily Bread 90-day devotional by RBC, and the booklet Would You Like to Know God Personally, which shares the four spiritual principles for coming to know Jesus Christ.
MG (Ret.) Bob Dees, Executive Director of the Campus Crusade for Christ International Military Ministry, said, "We firmly believe that no U.S. Soldier should have to go in harm’s way without the Word of God…."
The website notes that about 1.9 million RDKs…have been distributed since September 2001.
